Residential Tenancies Act Applicability

Landlord

J., W.

Tenant

B.

What happened

Landlords applied for an order to determine whether the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 applies to the living accommodation. The tenant had initially refused to vacate the unit, prompting the application, but had since vacated by the time of the hearing.

The ruling

The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 does not apply to the living accommodation, as it is intended to be provided to the travelling or vacationing public or occupied for a seasonal or temporary period.
